You can download or check a demo of this menu at this link. The HTML structure consists of a list with links. The animation centers around transitions and transforms. The actual A element wont move -- the parent SPAN element will.
Adding This Menu To Blogger:
Finally, it's time for me to begin the tutorial, which is not much tricky. We're going to add this menu to blogger in two steps. Time for the first one:
- Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Click on "Proceed"
- Search for ]]></b:skin>
- Post following css just above ]]></b:skin>:
